Number of Views :599Within the next week or so, I’ll be a part of the 5Mind, playtesting D&DNext, so I won’t really be talking about the next edition, as I don’t want to let something slip. However, there’s plenty else to talk about! My 4e game is going great, though it looks like the Heroes [...]

Number of Views :5988So, on December 14th, I received an email from Stan! at WotC, informing me that the three pitches I submitted were rejected.
